Crate digest

This crate provides traits which describe functionality of cryptographic hash functions and Message Authentication algorithms.

Traits in this repository are organized into the following levels:

• High-level convenience traits: Digest, DynDigest, Mac. Wrappers around lower-level traits for most common use-cases. Users should usually prefer using these traits.
• Mid-level traits: Update, FixedOutput, FixedOutputReset, ExtendableOutput, ExtendableOutputReset, XofReader, VariableOutput, Reset, KeyInit, and InnerInit. These traits atomically describe available functionality of an algorithm.
• Marker traits: HashMarker, MacMarker. Used to distinguish different algorithm classes.
• Low-level traits defined in the core_api module. These traits operate at a block-level and do not contain any built-in buffering. They are intended to be implemented by low-level algorithm providers only. Usually they should not be used in application-level code.

Additionally hash functions implement traits from the standard library: Default, Clone, Write. The latter is feature-gated behind std feature, which is usually enabled by default by hash implementation crates.

Modules

consts

core_api

Low-level traits operating on blocks and wrappers around them.

Macros

impl_oid_carrier

Implement dummy type with hidden docs which is used to “carry” hasher OID for CtVariableCoreWrapper.

Structs

CtOutput

Fixed size output value which provides a safe Eq implementation that runs in constant time.

InvalidBufferSize

Buffer length is not equal to hash output size.

InvalidLength

The error type returned when key and/or IV used in the KeyInit, KeyIvInit, and InnerIvInit slice-based methods had an invalid length.

InvalidOutputSize

The error type used in variable hash traits.

MacError

Error type for when the Output of a Mac is not equal to the expected value.

Traits

Digest

Convenience wrapper trait covering functionality of cryptographic hash functions with fixed output size.

DynDigest

Modification of the Digest trait suitable for trait objects.

ExtendableOutput

Trait for hash functions with extendable-output (XOF).

ExtendableOutputReset

Trait for hash functions with extendable-output (XOF) able to reset themselves.

FixedOutput

Trait for hash functions with fixed-size output.

FixedOutputReset

Trait for hash functions with fixed-size output able to reset themselves.

Marker trait for cryptographic hash functions.

InnerInit

Types which can be initialized from another type (usually block ciphers).

KeyInit

Types which can be initialized from key.

Mac

Convenience wrapper trait covering functionality of Message Authentication algorithms.

Output

Output array of OutputSizeUser implementors.
